Be careful of being too sure of receiving the grant just from the 1199As. Remember last year there were some people who received 1199A updates that later disappeared. I am not sure those departments ever received a 2007 AFG grant. To me the 10? are a better tell-tale sign. When they ask if you will accept a grant it is pretty safe to say they are going to offer one. Even then, however, it isn't official until they make a public announcement. They contact your congressional members first so they can share the news but that is within a couple of days of the official announcement.
